detail of *what* you don't think looks good about it would be helpful. i'm 
guessing it's because previously to this, the sides of the svg "faded" out as 
they reached the screen edge, which is cool.

however, we've shipped several minor releases now with an svg that plain 
doesn't work at all for, e.g. top panels. we've had a few bug reports about 
this. i've forwarded at least one on to the oxygen component.

the oxygen team hasn't had the time/resources to address the plasma theming 
issues. in the meantime, i'd rather have something that works than results in 
bug reports.

i'd really like to see use of this minimized. unless there is good reason for 
it, e.g. lighting differences. this may well be one good use case for this, 
but i'd still recommend cautious/wise use of this feature.
